Google Mobile Phone Software - Android

CNET - Google is expected to incorporate software from the Linux world into a mobile platform code-named Android that’s designed to run on phones, according to sources familiar with Google’s plans. It’s not exactly clear what kind of software will come as part of that stack, but it’s said to include everything you need to run a phone.

Japanese wireless carriers KDDI and NTT DoCoMo are said to be heavily involved in what will be called the Open Handset Alliance, according to other sources. The rest of the more than 30 other companies involved reads like a who’s-who list of the mobile-computing industry, including Qualcomm, Broadcom, HTC, Intel, Samsung, Motorola, Sprint, and Texas Instruments.

A software development kit for what’s being called “a complete mobile-phone software stack” is believed to be in the works and will be released relatively soon thereafter, the sources said. Link.
